The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1887-06-29

ties reported in the census of 1880 the
value of whose agricultural products
was over S4,000,000 each. OF these
twenty were in the East and six in the
West or in California. The most pro-
ductive agriculture is to be found in
southern Pennsylvania, central New
York and central Massachusetts. The
increase of population has created a
greater and greater market for the prod
ucts of agriculture which cannot be
carried very long distances, even by
railroad, and this increased demand has
been met by better methods of farming,
scientific fertilizing, better breeds of
cattle and better methods in every
direction. Farming land in central
New York, where The center of wheat
production used to be, is worth a great
deal more than it was when the farm
ers depended mainly on their wheat.
They produce about as much wheat as
they ever did, but it is an insignificant
part of the wheat production of the
whole country, whereas in former times
it was most important part. Diversity
of occupation and more intelligent
methods of agriculture have made in
dustrious farmers better off than they
ever were before in central New York,
in Pennsylvania, in New Jersey, in
Massachusetts, and in Vermont.-Ed-
Word atkinson.

Early-Cut Hay.


To you of our readers who keep a
dairy and desire to make as much and
as good butter as possible in the winter
we say: Don't be led by press of work
to let your grass stand too long. Early
cut hay for milk and butter, and later
cut and ripper hay for horses. Here is
an Illinois dairyman's experience in
the matter: From the 9TH to the 10th
of this month my milk shrunk from
655 pounds to 750 pounds. l asked my
foreman about the feed, water and care
of the cows. He said he was doing all
he knew how to do to keep up the
yield of milk. at last discovered that
the cause was in the change of hay. l
had been feeding the second crop of
clover, and the last of it was fed on the
4th of the month. The change was to
the last cut of first crop, though it was
good hay. 1 have repeatedly had the
same experience when l had changed
from early-cut to late-cut hay" If
we have good hay weather our first crop
will all be in the barn as you read this.

Insects of AppIe-Trees.

The Goblin moth, the pest of the
apple orchard, can be successfully de-
stroyed by Swinging the trees with
Paris green and water soon after the
blossoms have fallen and when the lit
tie apples, newly-formed, are held erect
by their fruit-stems, calyx end up.
The moth lays its eggs in the calyx
cavity, beginning even before the
flower petals have fallen; the larv@
soon hatch out and begin to cut their
way into the apple. One application
of the poisonous mixture is usually
sufficient if given very soon after the
blossoms fall. One pound of Paris
green to fifty gallons of water is the
proper proportion. The powder will
mix better with the water if first wet
up and stirred into a smooth paste
The liquid can be applied by means of
force-pump made for this purpose.
Public opinion should shape itself to
regard as misdemeanor the neglect to
destroy Goblin moth in this manner by
any orchardist or by any one having
apple-trees in his garden. The apple
aphis can be destroyed by kerosene oil
made into an emulsion and mixed
with water, the liquid thrown on in a
fine spray with a force-pump. The
materials and implements should be
ready beforehand, for this insect comes
like thief in the night, only not singly,
but in myriads.-Vick'S Magazine for
